This rhetoric blends traditional organization and terminology with a process orientation. Although narrative and descriptive writing is emphasized, persuasive writing, the term paper, business letters, resumes, and essay examinations are also thoroughly covered. Writing exercises, discussion questions, ample checklists, and new student examples are an integral part of each chapter.

Though the scientific community largely agrees that climate change is underway, debates about this issue remain fiercely polarized. These conversations have become a rhetorical contest, one where opposing sides try to achieve victory through playing on fear, distrust, and intolerance. At its heart, this split no longer concerns carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases, or climate modeling; rather, it is the product of contrasting, deeply entrenched worldviews. This brief examines what causes people to reject or accept the scientific consensus on climate change. Synthesizing evidence from sociology, psychology, and political science, Andrew J. Hoffman lays bare the opposing cultural lenses through which science is interpreted. He then extracts lessons from major cultural shifts in the past to engender a better understanding of the problem and motivate the public to take action. How Culture Shapes the Climate Change Debate makes a powerful case for a more scientifically literate public, a more socially engaged scientific community, and a more thoughtful mode of public discourse.

The fields of corporate environmentalism, green business and corporate sustainability have grown significantly over the past twenty-five years, such that the academic research domains of business decision-making, accounting, organizational behaviour, and the protection of the natural environment have developed into maturing areas of study within the management sciences.
Business and the Natural Environment: A Research Overview is a summary of the research thus far on this topic, offering a structure for understanding its emergence and growth, the multiple facets that make up its present state and a glimpse into the future of where it may be going. Along the way, the authors provide a compendium of its important works to help situate the interested reader in the landscape of the field. One important element of this work is its topical relevance; issues of environmental protection (and more recently sustainability) are critically important in today’s worlds of business, policy, and public understanding. Scholars who choose to enter this domain have much to offer of societal value while at the same time, entering a non-fully legitimate research stream that can lead to academic success (such as tenure). This shortform book provides a research map for both new scholars who wish to enter the field and more seasoned researchers who wish to understand one view of the landscape and how they might fit within it. This expert survey of the existing literature brings the research story into the age of the Anthropocene and is essential primary reading.

In the first edition of this critically acclaimed book, Andrew Hoffman defined the three pillars of application security: reconnaissance, offense, and defense. In this revised and updated second edition, he examines dozens of related topics, from the latest types of attacks and mitigations to threat modeling, the secure software development lifecycle (SSDL/SDLC), and more. Hoffman, senior staff security engineer at Ripple, also provides information regarding exploits and mitigations for several additional web application technologies such as GraphQL, cloud-based deployments, content delivery networks (CDN) and server-side rendering (SSR). Following the curriculum from the first book, this second edition is split into three distinct pillars comprising three separate skill sets: <ul> <li>Pillar 1: Recon--Learn techniques for mapping and documenting web applications remotely, including procedures for working with web applications</li> <li>Pillar 2: Offense--Explore methods for attacking web applications using a number of highly effective exploits that have been proven by the best hackers in the world. These skills are valuable when used alongside the skills from Pillar 3.</li> <li>Pillar 3: Defense--Build on skills acquired in the first two parts to construct effective and long-lived mitigations for each of the attacks described in Pillar 2.</li> </ul>

Monsters explores questions about the central concept of the monstrous: Why do we create monsters? Are they animal, human, both, or neither? Which of our fears and desires do monsters embody? What can monsters tell us about our cultural and historical moments? How do we cope with the monsters that haunt our imaginations―and our societies? Readings by classic poets, contemporary fiction writers, pop culture critics, philosophers, psychologists, occultists, veterinarians, ethicists, historians, and others take up these questions and more. Questions and assignments for each selection provide a range of activities for students to write about vampires, werewolves, zombies, mermaids, serial killers, classic horror movie monsters, and more strange things that go bump in the night.
 The Bedford Spotlight Reader Series is an exciting line of single-theme readers, each reflecting Bedford’s trademark care and quality. An editorial board of a dozen compositionists at schools with courses focusing on specific themes assists in the development of the series. Each reader collects thoughtfully chosen selections sufficient for an entire writing course―about 35 pieces―to allow instructors to provide carefully developed, high-quality instruction at an affordable price. Bedford Spotlight Readers are designed to help students from all majors make sustained inquiries from multiple perspectives, opening up topics such as borders, food, gender, happiness, humor, language, music, science and technology, subcultures, and sustainability, to critical analysis. The readers are flexibly arranged in thematic chapters, with each chapter focusing in depth on a different facet of the central topic. Instructor support at macmillanlearning.com includes sample syllabi and additional teaching resources.

The Best Guide to Master Java Programming Fast (Java for Beginners, Java for Dummies, how to program, java app, java programming) This book is a quick guide for programming the popular language, Java. James Gosling started the programming language project that became Java in June 1991, for use in a set-top box project he had. The new language was named 'Oak', in honor of an oak tree that stood outside Gosling's office, then called Green and ended up finally renamed as Java. Sun's first release to the public was Java 1.0 in 1995. The motto Write Once, Run Anywhere(WORA), providing no-cost run-times on popular platforms, became the reputation of Java. November 13th 2006, Sun released the bulk of Java as open source and free software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). May 8th 2007, Sun finished the open sourcing process, releasing all of Java's core code open source and free. The sole exception to this was a small portion of the software that Sun simply did not own. The following chapters will cover basic concepts of Java and show proper syntax for applying these concepts within a Java program. Here is a preview of what you'll learn:
<ul>
<li> Setting Up a Java Environment</li>
<li> Environment and Syntax</li>
<li> Identifiers, Modifiers and Variables </li>
<li> Basic Operators </li>
<li> Additional Operators and Loops </li>
<li> If and Switch Statements </li>
<li> Methods, Class, Objects and Finally </li>
</ul> Java programs assist in making websites and pages more dynamic. As programs that run within the structure of a webpage, it is important to understand these basic, Java concepts in order to properly utilize the program and its unique attributes.
